For a casual meal Three Wise Monkeys in Green Point serves the best bowl of ramen. Perfect for a midweek dinner.For a special occasionChefs Warehouse Beau Constantia. The food is some of the best in Cape Town, with spectacular views.For a guilty pleasure Jason Bakery is my treat when ever I am in town. Pastéis de nata [Portuguese custard tart], doughnuts or croissants (they make them in delicious original flavours).For a Winelands experience Jordan Restaurant ticks all the boxes with a spectacular view, friendly service and good food. I also love their cheese room with preserves and pickles.For authentic cuisine Thali is my favourite Indian restaurant; the decor is beautiful and authentic, and the food is always delicious.Best new restaurantFYN. A fresh concept of the kitchen becoming part of the dining room, with really exciting flavours on the plates.Best “oldie but goodie” The Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel has a special magic about it, one of the best places in Cape Town for an afternoon High Tea.The best restaurant overall Chefs Warehouse & Canteen on Bree Street. Always very tasty food with a great ambience and excellent service staff.
